Git clone /Users/_work/LearnGIT/git_force_pull/repository/myproject.git Now let’s go to the user2 folder and clone the remote repository. Git clone /Users/_work/LearnGIT/git_force_pull/repository/myproject.git touch ReadMe.txt Image1.txt git add -A git commit -m "Initialization" git push origin master Then, push the change to the remote repository (please use your clone path). Now let’s go into the user1 folder, clone the empty repository, and add two files ( ReadMe.txt and Image1.txt). This is going to be the remote repository. Initial dataĬd repository/ mkdir myproject.git cd myproject.git/ git init -bare The example below starts from scratch, so you can try it out on the test repository before you use it with a real environment. If you’re trying this out in a live environment, you can end up losing your work. Warning: The below technique to force git pull will delete your local changes. Let’s create a situation where this might happen. The git pull command might not be enough to force this kind of overwrite. However, there might be cases where you want to git force pull to overwrite your local changes. In most cases, you want to resolve the conflicts manually. Instead, try running git branch -r to see any remote branches, so you can pick the one you want to git reset from.When multiple users are working with the same Git files and folders, you can run into conflict issues that might be tricky. If you can’t find origin/master, you may now have that branch on your origin. Now your local changes will be backed up on the branch my-backup-branch, and all remote changes will be forced into your master branch. This will force overwrite any local changes you made.Īnd you’re done. You can see all other branches available to switch to by running git branch -list.įinally, we use git reset -hard origin/master to force git pull. If it’s called something else, you will have to use that command. Then we switch back to our main, master branch, assuming your main branch is called master. If you don’t commit your changes to the backup branch, you will lose them. After that, I’ve added in a commit, so that we commit any changes on that backup branch, my-backup-branch, so the contents remain saved. ![]() Then, git branch my-backup-branch creates a new branch, which we switch to for the backup. The other commands are to ensure you don’t lose any data, by making a backup!įirst, git fetch -all syncs up our remote to our local. The key command to force a git pull from a remote repository is git reset -hard origin/master. To force a git pull, we run the following commands to create a backup branch, and then force the git pull on the master branch: If you do not commit/backup your local changes to another branch, they will be overwritten so please be careful. You can also copy your files somewhere else if you’re worried about overwriting them. The important thing to do here is a backup, where you commit all your local changes to a backup branch. backup your current branch - since when we force the pull, all changes will be overwritten.first sync up and fetch all remote repository changes.To force a git pull, you want to do three things: In this scenario, your local changes will be replaced by the ones found on the remote repository. ![]() Sometimes though, you want to force overwrite your files with the ones found in the repo. For example, if a file gets accidentally added to a repo called README.md, and you already have README.md on your local version. This is usually some changes have been committed to the repo you are pulling from - but you have a similar file locally. ![]() Have you ever been working on a project in git and ran into an error telling you that you can’t use git pull because you have local changes? error: Untracked working tree file 'App.vue' would be overwritten by merge ![]()
